A quick, simple and delicious vegan lunch – these Mediterranean Quinoa Wraps have chilled quinoa, lots of veggies and vegan feta!

These Mediterranean Quinoa Wraps are the perfect end of Summer lunch or easy dinner. You can prep all of the ingredients ahead of time for fast & easy assembly and there is very little cooking. The vegan feta gives these wraps some tang, the quinoa adds some fiber/protein and the drizzle of basil pesto adds so much fresh flavor.

How to Prep the Filling

Start out by cooking and cooling the quinoa. My two pro tips for cooking quinoa is to:

Rinse the quinoa. I’m normally too lazy to do this with other grains, like rice. But I think it is 100% necessary when cooking quinoa from scratch. You run the risk of having crunchy quinoa if you don’t…nobody wants that.
Cooking the quinoa in broth gives it SO…MUCH…FLAVOR! You can also just use water, but I’m telling you, broth is the way to go.

Once the quinoa is done, I like to let it cool before using it in the wraps. If you’re in a hurry, just pop the cooked quinoa in the freezer for about 10 minutes.

While the quinoa is cooking, grab all of your other ingredients:

roasted red peppers – drained & dried
vegan feta – I get mine at Trader Joe’s
spinach
sun-dried tomatoes
red onion
basil pesto – I used pre-made

How to Assemble

Now that everything is prepped, grab your favorite wraps (I used spinach wraps) and start layering everything. Add the spinach first, then the quinoa and then everything else. Finish it off with a drizzle of pesto and wrap it up. Slice it in half and serve with extra pesto on the side.

These can definitely be prepped ahead of time, stored in a glass container and kept in the fridge. Some options to serve on the side are a fruit salad, pasta salad, chips or hummus/crackers.
